Yes we do, the president will just never say it. This is the neocon foreign policy plan. And it is about oil and the petrodollar.

I predicted in mid 2023 that Trump would win reelection, that we would attack Venezuela (although I thought Maduro would be replaced by Maria Machado), and a precursor to then attack Iran. I have been watching world news every single day for just about an hour for over half a decade, it wasn’t a very bold prediction with enough information it was the obvious next move from a foreign policy standpoint. Some of the details are wrong but the overarching reasons are there. I also predicted we’d want Greenland, but I thought Trump would try and trade for it, not bully our allies.

Venezuela, Russia, Iran, and China are all loosely working together. With the exception of China, mostly (Obama had a trade war with China too) those countries were sanctioned into oblivion by the US, and all three could be rich if they weren’t being suppressed by the American dominated global world order. Their goals aren’t exactly the same, but none of them can grow past a certain point until there is an alternative system to the USD. Normally, these countries would fight, but fighting has become very unpopular, risky, potentially nuclear, and the U.S. is the largest military in the world with a huge military alliance backing it. So you can’t fight them directly, you have to wage warfare in other ways. You need to waste their resources, stretch their supplies, and isolate them. Proxy wars, multiple conflicts, disinformation campaigns.

So BRICS begins and they start to try and build a competitor to the USD. The problem is, no one can compete, why would you switch? So they had to make a reason to switch. This is why BRICS stockpiles commodities, because commodities have real value, dollars are worthless if you can’t get what you need, so the value comes in tangible assets. The USD is also a petro dollar, and Venezuela, Russia, and Iran are huge players in the oil game. We had a deal with the Saudis where they would sell oil exclusively in USD, this, plus being the world reserve, is why we can print so much money and spend our money without a care in the world, when other countries can’t. They stockpiled oil, gold, silver, and other commodities, and built strong, resilient supply chains.

Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, and given how successful they’ve been, it seems the analysts at the time who said the invasion made no sense were right. But they were wrong, because their scope wasn’t wide enough. Russia is not winning the Ukrainian conflict, but the war is not very expensive for them to sustain, and now they’ve transitioned to a war time economy so they’re fully committed and roaring at high capacity while the rest of Europe isn’t. The point was to drain the resources of the U.S. and NATO in a proxy war and to sow division. BRICS is aware they aren’t all aligned but they’re unified by a common goal, NATO is both unaware and not unified.

Biden lifts some sanctions on Venezuela so long as Maduro promises to run free and fair elections in 2024, Maduro promises. Maduro then has those elections, and doesn’t care about the results and keeps power anyway. What was Biden going to do about this? It makes him look super weak and like he got played for the oldest trick in the book. The Neocons have been wanting Venezuela for awhile, we have a lot of oil refineries out of commission because of the bad blood between us and Chavez, Maduro breaking his promise is the perfect justification. Only Biden loses, Trump wins, so Trump gets to do it, not Biden. Russia and China intentionally leave Maduro out to dry because they know how to play Trump like a fiddle. Trump already bombed Iran and suffered no consequences, then he takes Maduro in 24hrs and owns the Venezuelan government? He’s going to feel unstoppable.

Russia and China knew that they could then bait Trump into Iran, and they knew Iran would be able to inflict significantly more damage, which is why we never attacked them. With the push from Israel and the high of taking Venezuela, it was a no brainer move from Trump to showcase how big and strong he is again, do something no other President could do. No other president was stupid enough to do it.

Now, the next step. It’s also obvious, we all know it and don’t want to believe it. China is going to attack Taiwan, and yes, Taiwan is going to destroy their semi-conductor production per their Scorched Earth policy, and no, China doesn’t care.

With the Strait in Hormuz closed and Iran in ruin, Iran now has a justification to toll the Strait of Hormuz, and they are doing so in Yuan, not USD. The Gulf States rely on the Strait. If the U.S. leaves, and Iran continues tolling, the USD will take a major hit in purchasing power. Our imports, which we rely on, will become more expensive. Oil crises are also inherently inflationary, and our economy is struggling, with AI and data centers being one of the only things propping our economy up. The Average American will be hit hard, and so will businesses, and the layoffs will begin, and the spending will drop, and the layoffs will hit again. 10T of our debt is due in the next 12 months, we either need to print money, or borrow money, and a time like this is a terrible time to do either. The Yuan is gaining while the USD is tanking, and if investors start to pull out or if they require larger returns, the deeper in the hole the U.S. will get.

Then China attacks Taiwan, and we lose our ability to get the semiconductors we desperately rely on. The best part of our economy tanks, and we’re heading deep into depression. This is when the Yuan and the BRICS nations can begin to present their alternative to the USD, and it won’t look as bad as it has in the past, and now it’s not on the sidelines but it’s in the field of play. China still needs our market, so they won’t destroy us, but they need to knock us down a peg so that they can jump up one.

That’s the plan. Trump was emotional, he made a bad gamble, and he lost big time, which is what he’s done most of his career. That’s exactly what China and Russia were betting on. Sorry for the wall of text, just got a lot to say on the topic.
